There was no warning the day magic died in Talhaven. It happened with a giant explosion and the arrival of a skyship full of children, all with magic running through their veins and no memory of home.
Rook and Drift are two of those children, and ever since that day, they’ve been on the run, magical refugees in a world that doesn’t trust magic. Because magic doesn’t die right away–it decays, twists, and poisons all that it touches. And now it’s beginning to poison people.
Try as they might, Rook and Drift can’t remember anything about their lives before Talhaven. But it’s beginning to look like they’re the only ones who can save their adopted world . . . if that world doesn’t destroy them first.
Jan’s Review
I was granted access to this title via netgalley.
I been a fan of Jaleigh Johnson since i read mark of the butterfly and all the amazing books in the world of solace so when i saw a new fantasy middle grade adventure i of course needed to read it. Their fantastic world building going on in this book and wonderful mystery surrounding our wonderful characters Rook and Drift. I felt for them being exiles in a world that has lost it grip on magic and being the only ones with it and not remembering their home land. I was caught up in the story and made for a fast read. It currently slated as a stand alone but i want more from this world and i hope we get more.
